Several reason, you enjoy books, both the tactile sensation, and the smell, the fact that you also enjoy reading them, and that in your mind older books, or used books gains more value in being used, in being well red, in being loved.
So when you put this into a single location, that is usually cramped, stacked up to the ceiling, so much so, that there might be some bookpillars that are roofbearing, they got the charm of being cramped and small, and the smell of lignin and dust just adds to it, its silent, few people, and a bit outta the way, allowing you time to check the books for something interesting, and here you judge the book by its cover. Maybe something that fits your taste, or at least the spine of the book, maybe you see some keywords that increases your appetite for reading, maybe the lastname of an author you enjoy, maybe a spine that shows its age, as being in bad conditions, and you want to give it a home. It takes your out of the modern era, takes you to the 90s and beyond, no harsh lighting, just old warm light that is just cozy, and not harsh on the eyes, lets you skim the text on the various spines. The sense of nostalgia seems to slow down time, there is nothing but you and these books. The owner is someone up in the age, grey hair, smile lines, and reading glasses, and they are enjoying a book as well, you made eye contacts on entering the store, and the ringing of a brass bell above the door sent you straight into the world of used bookstores.

We know all mass will eventually decay into a form, where it stops releasing parts of it mass, and when all mass in the universe stops producing heat, along with all energy in the universe being spent, you got the third form of heat which is the expansion of space itself, so eventually when this all stops, and all mass and energy would eventually spend all its energy and reach zero, roughly 1.7×10^106 years, in comparison, the age of the universe is 1.3787*10^10 years, however this is only true if the end of the universe is in the form of heat death, and that is also assuming that protons decay into a state of non-energy.
The other models of the end of the universe assumes that the universe will probably end in another way, earlier then the heatdeath, which basically means no.

When you feel sick, its usually because of something you ate, so to get the bad stuff out, the body forces you to puke, however, there are times where you feel sick, without having eaten the bad stuff, but the body is reacting as if you did.

Mermaid comes from the words Mere which means sea, and maid shortened from maiden, meaning unmarried or a virgin, which are synonyms since virgin USED to mean unmarried woman.

It was not intended to preserve bodies after death But it was intended to preserve bodies in the afterlife.
Which is basically the same thing, and it's just an article that goes "SEMANTICS!"

It's a bit like how it's easy to break a single stick, but a bundle of stick is hard to break, but if you try, some of the sticks will still be damaged.
